Summary
- Yumemizuki Mizuki debuts in Genshin Impact 5.4, centered in Inazuma, featuring the Mikawa Festival.
- Mizuki is versatile, dealing Swirl damage and healing, plus boosting teammate food items.
- Event banners showcase new characters, minigames in Mikawa Festival, and a potential new Polearm.
Genshin Impact has revealed the new content coming in Version 5.4, which will mark the debut of Yumemizuki Mizuki, and will heavily focus on the region of Inazuma. After concluding the Archon Quest in Natlan, Genshin Impact is set to return to Inazuma for the Flagship Event of Version 5.4, which will revolve around the Mikawa Festival held between yokai and humans. It will feature characters such as Yae Miko, Raiden, and Mizuki in central roles, but players can also expect to see old friends such as Thoma and Yoimiya participating in the event.
The star of Version 5.4 is expected to be Yumemizuki Mizuki, who will be the first Standard Banner character in Genshin Impact that hails from Inazuma. In terms of her ability kit, the developers have described Mizuki as a flexible party member, capable of dealing Swirl damage while also healing the active character with collectible snacks. However, a unique aspect of Yumemizuki Mizuki is a passive that allows her teammates to gain more benefits from consuming food items, with the chance of the effect triggering based on the Friendship level of the character.
Genshin Impact Redeem Codes (November 2025)
Genshin Impact redeem codes commonly come with Primogems rewards that aid in players’ gacha experience.
The livestream highlighted the major events coming in Version 5.4, with the Mikawa Festival taking the spotlight. Much like previous Flagship Events, Genshin Impact players will be able to enjoy several minigames during the Mikawa Festival, including a revamped version of Akitsu Yuugei. By participating in the event, players can earn rewards that can be exchanged for a new 4-Star Polearm, which may potentially imply that either Varesa or Iansan in Genshin Impact are Polearm characters.
Genshin Impact: Version 5.4 Special Program Livestream
In terms of the Event Banners for Version 5.4, players can expect to see Yumemizuki Mizuki and Sigewinne during the first half of the update, while the second half will be headlined by Furina and Wriothesley. The second half should spark plenty of interest for Wriothesley fans, as not only is Furina one of his best teammates, but Cashflow is running alongside one of the most desirable Swords in the game: the Splendor of Tranquil Waters. Unfortunately, the livestream also confirmed that an Inazuma Chronicled Banner in Genshin Impact is still several patches away, as Mizuki will only join the Standard Banner pool after Version 5.5.
Despite launching with no new map expansion for Naltan or Teyvat, players are excited about a return to Inazuma in Version 5.4. However, there is an argument to be made that Natlan is a significantly drier patch cycle compared to Fontaine, at least in its first half. Whereas Fontaine released its fourth zone in Version 4.4, Natlan still only has two zones to offer. The content cycle for Natlan in Genshin Impact has been unorthodox, to say the least, and many fans in the community wonder how the second half will make up for it. Version 5.4 is set to be released on February 12, 2025.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.
Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...
MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?
ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.
Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.
BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.
SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.
BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.
JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.
As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
